DSXchange

Hi,

I have a before after job subroutine to capture records in a link , but I'm always getting result as -1 .

Below is my routine

$ INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H
RoutineName = "TestRout"
StageName = Field (InputArg,",",1)
LinkName = Field (InputArg, ",",2)
vRowcount = 0
Errorcode = 0

mainJob = DSGetJobInfo(DSJ.ME,DSJ.JOBNAME)
JobName = mainJob
IF JobName = DSJE.BADHANDLE
THEN
Call DSLogWarn("cannot attach the job", " ")
Errorcode = 0
End
vRowcount = DSGetLinkInfo (JobName,StageName,LinkName,DSJ.LINKROWCOUNT)
Call DSLogWarn("Link Rowcount":" ":vRowcount, " " )
Errorcode = 0;

From above code I'm capturing the rowcount value in a log and I'm seeing -1 always, even the link processed 5 rows in a job, I also checked I'm getting proper JobName, stagename, LinkName before calling DSGetLinkInfo and they are passed correctly and I'm calling this routine as after job subroutine with parameter value Cpy_Output,To_Cpy_outlook. I'm trying to capture record count for active stage transformer.


Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

You don't exit from your routine in the event that you cannot attach the job - you blithely sail on into the DSGetLinkInfo() code.

There's no actual attaching going on here, it is just querying the current job so not quite clear how one would get a "BADHANDLE".

I'm getting current job name and I need to get the proper output from DSGetLinkInfo function, even if the job handling section is wrong since the if clause will not be executed and goes directly to DSGetLinkInfo function, but it is always throwing -1 output .

I don't think it is happening due to bad jobhandle, since I can see job name . If I'm wrong correct me

Thanks

DSGetLinkInfo() has to be called with a job handle as its first argument. You are trying to call it with a job name as the first argument. Try DSJ.ME.

So out of all that code you just need the call to DSGetLinkInfo and the log function. Why "DSLogWarn"? Why not simply "DSLogInfo"?

Since you are using DSJ.ME as the job handle, a lot of the code is superfluous. I can't check right now, but I seem to recall that the link row count information isn't available until after the job has finished, but I'm not 100% certain - it would explain your routine's behaviour.

It is available while the job is running.

Thanks Craig - I looked at the code again:

vRowcount = DSGetLinkInfo (JobName,StageName,LinkName,DSJ.LINKROWCOUNT)

should read:

Yup.

I would say that is all that is needed, the "attach" process is superfluous and ErrorCode only needs one assignment and job done...

After making the corrections as Ray mentioned it is working
